Change a version number in a user manual PDF
Manuals are long and change in small ways: a menu name, a version number, a support email. Fix those in the PDF and split the manual into chapters if people need only part of it. Bump the version, revision or draft number of a document.
How to do it
- 1.Drop your PDF into MythosPDF and click the text you want to change.
- 2.Type the new version.
- 3.Press Enter to save the line, then Export PDF.
